It’s pumpkin-packed and a healthier alternative to high calorie custard pie.
It will satisfy cake lovers even without layers of fatty frosting.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, the spices, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks and pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of evaporated milk, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
2. Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the remaining 9 egg whites at medium speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. With the machine on, gradually whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar increase the speed to high and beat until stiff but still moist, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Add one-quarter of the egg white mixture to the pumpkin batter, folding with a rubber spatula just until no streaks remain. Fold in the remaining egg white mixture in the same manner. Pour the batter into a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom and bake until springy to the touch and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 minutes.
4. Let cool in the cake pan for about an hour. The orginal recipe called for letting it cool up side down after 5 min from the oven, mine fell all over while doing this step. While this is standard for this type of recipe I would suggest skipping it and letting it cool in the pan without tipping upside down.
